Groups team up to improve sports fields

Morning Sentinel, February 6, 2008

(excerpt) The group that raised more than a half million dollars for the Mount View Performing Arts Center has now set its sights on improving the athletic fields at the new school.

The new school complex is slated to open in the fall of 2009. The school will serve more than 1,000 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

The $40 million school complex is the largest state-funded school project in Maine history.

Future MSAD 3 is planning a capital campaign for enhancements and improvements to Mount View's existing and new athletic fields.

The organization and the School Administrative District 3 board of directors have created the Athletic Enhancement Advisory Committee. The group will not raise funds; it will seek public input on athletic facility enhancements; conduct research; develop a comprehensive master plan with the architects; and secure cost estimates.

Community members who are willing to work on this plan are invited to the first organizational meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 13, at the Mount View High School Library.

"We have an extraordinary opportunity to engage district residents and Mount View alumni in this project," said Vicki Kupferman, who will co-chair the new committee with Doug Van Horn.
